HAIR WAVING COMB Filed Jan. 18, 1933 F06 ffrapa a INVENTOR ATTOR N EYPatented May 30, 1933 UNITED STATES ROSE KROPAC, OF TRENTON, NEW JERSEYHAIR WAVING COMB Application filed January 18, 1933. Serial No. 652,378.

This invention relates to hair waving combs and more particularly toattachments therefor, and has for the primary object, the provision ofmeans for efliciently maintaining the combs in proper position forsetting a wave in the hair without danger of the combs becomingdisarranged and also ob.- viates the employment of hair pins for holdingthe combs in place and permits quicker drying of the hair due to thehair becoming waved without the use of sticky fluid heretofore requiredin hair waving.

With these and other objects in view this invention consists in certainnovel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts tobe hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

For a complete understanding of my invention, reference is to be had tothe following description and accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 isa side elevation illustrating hair waving combs assembled by attachmentsconstructed in accordance with my invention. I

Figure 2 is an edge view illustrating the attachments applied to combs.

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 2. v 30Figure 4 is a fragmentary view illustrating combs prior to beingconnected by the attachment.

Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral 1 indicates a set ofcombs especially adapted for waving hair. It has been customary toretain such combs in their proper relation within the hair by employinghair pins and from actual experience this has proven disadvantageous dueto the fact that 4 the combs become separated or disarranged and toovercome these disadvantages my invention is employed which consists offlexible clamps 2, each comb having applied thereto a pair of clamps andthe pairs of clamps cooperating with each other in retaining the combsin proper position to set a wave in the hair. Each clamp is ofsubstantially U-shape and has one end apertured to receive a screw orlike fastener 3- secured to the comb, while the opposite end is providedwith a slot 4. When the combs Y are assembled in the hair with one uponthe other, the clamps of each set overlie and grip each other with thenotched end of each clamp engaged with the screw or fastener 3 of thecompanion clamp. Thus it will be seen that the combs are effectivelyheld in hair setting position against accidental movement relative toeach other'which permits the hair to be more efi'ectively waved andeliminates the employment. of sticky liquid heretofore applied to thehair in order to cause the hair to set in a wave. By eliminating the useof such liquid, the hair more readily dries as it is only'necessary todampen or wet the hair with water.

While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of myinvention, it will be understood that minor changes in construction,combination and arrangement of parts may be made without departing fromthe spirit and scope of my invention, as

claimed. I

Having described the invention, I claim: 1. A hair waving deviceincluding cooperating combs, pairs of substantially U-shaped resilientclips pivoted to each comb, the clips of one pair adapted to engage overand grip the clips of the other pair.

2. A hair waving device including cooperating combs, pairs ofsubstantially U-shaped resilient clips pivoted to each comb, the clipsof one pair adapted to engage over and grip the clips of the other pair,each clip having one end notched'to receive the pivot connecting thecompanion clip to a comb.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

ROSE KROPAC.
